DINNER-PAIL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,592, dated September 11, 1883.

Application filed May 16, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:.

Be it known that we, CHARLES E. BANKS and JOHN W. CHESTNUT, citizens of the United States, residing at New Castle, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dinner-Pails, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective of a dinner-pail constructed in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same.

Like letters refer to like parts in both figures.

A represents the lid or cover, and is secured by a hinge, a, to the body B, which is provided with a bail or handle, B. At one end of the body apertures b are made, and a larger aperture, 12, having a slide or door, If, is provided, for a purpose hereinafter described. Within the pail are two removable compartments, C and D, in each of which the back 0 d and bottom 0 d are formed of one piece of material, which is bent, as at 0 d to form the angle of their jointure one with the other, and in the former compartment the side or walls 0 other than the back 0 is or are formed of another single piece of material, and the integral back and bottom piece of each compartment is extended upwardly and bent inwardly to form handles 0* 01*, by which each compartment and its contents may be lifted bodily and independently of the other from the pail. The compartment D is provided with a shelf, d having an upwardlyprojecting flange, d, as has also the bottom d, said shelf being perforated or apertured centrally at (F.

E represents a lamp adapted to fit the bottom (1 of the compartment D, the burner e being directly below the opening d" in the shelf (1 The wick-raiser e is arranged opposite the opening 1), whereby the lamp may be lighted and the wick adjusted through said opening, thus avoiding any necessity of removing the compartment D for such purposes. 6 is the filling-nozzle of the lamp, and 0 its handle.

F represents the coffee or other liquid re ceptacle, and it is formed with a central annular or cone shaped heat-pipe, f, whereby the heat of the lamp E is utilized in the most comperatures, or, if desired, brought to a boilingpoint. f represents the nozzle of the receptacle, and is provided with a vent, f.

In order to provide an escape for the products of combustion and to maintain a current of air for its support in the lamp, an aperture, a, is formed in the cover at such a point that when closed said aperture registers with the heat-pipe f of the receptacle; and to prevent the escape of either undue heat or smoke into the compartment 0 a depending pipe, a is secured to the cover.

Any suitable knob or handle may be secured to the cover A to facilitate opening the same, and the heat-pipesf a? may be either conical or cylindrical, and the latter may be omitted.

Having described our invention and its op eration, what we claim is 1. In a compartment dinner-pail, the compartments having one wall of each extended upwardly and bent to form handles, substantially as specified.

2. In a compartment dinner-pail, a compartment provided witha bottom, and a lamp arranged thereon, a shelf centrally apertured, and a liquid-receptacle arranged thereon, substantially as specified.

3. In a compartment dinner-pail, the combination of the hinged apertured cover A with the removable compartment D, provided with a liquid-receptacle and a lamp, substantially as specified.

4. The combination of the cover A, having the aperture a, pipe a", the compartment D, having shelf d apertured at d the lamp E, liquid-receptacle F, having pipe f, and the body B, having theapertures b' b.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in'presence of two witnesses.
